Tutu Ambassador, Peter Sheridan moves onto new role as Commissioner for Investigations at the Government’s new legacy body in Northern Ireland

Having been the Head of Cooperation Ireland and before that an Assistant Chief Constable of Northern Ireland, Peter Sheridan moves onto new role as Commissioner for Investigations at the Government’s new legacy body in Northern Ireland which is being overseen by former Lord Chief Justice Sir Declan Morgan.

Mr Sheridan said: “I’ve spent the last 15 years working for an organisation that is dedicated to bringing peace and reconciliation to Northern Ireland – and before this, a substantial period of my career working to deliver law and order in our community.

“I am absolutely committed to carrying out this role without fear or favour and I fully expect everyone to hold me accountable to do this.

“There is nothing I want more than to see people given the information and closure they need, using the full range of powers and tools that the commission will be able to bring to this work, so that we can all move forward together.

“We may never forget the past, but I hope we will be able to focus on building an inspiring future together for Northern Ireland, for the sake of future generations.”

Peter is expected to uptake the role in December once all other previous commitments are complete.
